The currently available package for Kubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala environment I'm using is an old version, so I'm collecting some notes here on how to get it compiled/installed from the 3.3.10 source code. (I've previously gone through QFSM and other tool compiles so this may only list what has not yet been corrected by them. I don't think I'll uninstall everything to check this is comprehensive to this tool alone)
Additional Ubuntu packages I needed to install before being able to compile the GTKWave sources:

lzma (remove)
need to remove in order to install xz-utils which succeeds lzma. DANGER - this removed a bunch of dependencies that made me not able to install anything at all anymore! Booo... Off to salvage the machine. DO NOT remove lzma using KPackageKit. Use apt-get to install xz-utils and let it do the swap.
xz-utils
configure: error: LZMA support for VZT is enabled, but xz could not be found.
Please install xz, see the http://tukaani.org/xz website or use the --disable-xz flag.
Hmmm, I installed xz-utils using apt-get (and swapped out old lzma in the process) but this error is still here. :(
flex
checking for flex... no
checking for lex... no
checking for fsdbdebug... notfound
libbz2-dev

export PKG_CONFIG=/usr/bin/pkg-config
configure: error: The pkg-config script could not be found or is too old. Make sure it
is in your PATH or set the PKG_CONFIG environment variable to the full
path to pkg-config.
